Installing the Chassis in the Rack
The ears secure the chassis to two rack posts, and the rest of the chassis is cantilevered off the ears.
After installing the ears on the chassis, mount the chassis by securing the ears to two posts or
mounting strips in the rack with the eight slotted screws provided. Because the ears bear the weight
of the entire chassis, be sure to use all eight slotted screws to fasten the chassis ears to the rack posts.
Figure 5 shows a typical installation in a standard, 19-inch equipment rack with four mounting posts.
Figure 6 shows a typical installation in a Telco-type rack, which usually has two center posts and is
bolted to the floor.
Warning
(One person should support the chassis in the rack while the second person installs the fasteners.)
Installing the Ears on the Chassis
While referring to Figure 4, turn the chassis so that the end that will be in the front of the
rack is facing toward you. For example, Figure 4 shows the correct orientation for the router
if the noninterface processor end will face out the front of the rack.
On the sides of the chassis, locate the stud holes and tapped holes nearest you.
Attach the first chassis ear to the right side of the chassis. Hold the ear in the orientation
shown by the right ear in the Figure 4, with the studs pointing toward the chassis and the
mounting strip facing you.
Insert the studs into the holes on the side of the chassis, as shown in Figure 4.
Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure two M4 x10-mm Phillips flathead screws to
the chassis, then repeat this procedure for the other ear. Ensure that the strip of mounting
holes on each ear is approximately flush with the end of the chassis. (See Figure 4.)
Proceed to the next section to install the chassis in the rack.
To prevent personal injury, we recommend that two people install the chassis in the rack.
